[SQLObject] how to get generator number

[<pet...@tp...>]

Hi,
I would like to use IDs generated by generator in my application. I am using
Firebird DB.

Now I go like:

genVal = connection.queryOne("SELECT GEN_ID( GEN_PERSON, 1 ) FROM
RDB$DATABASE")

or for Firebird 2.0

genVal = connection.queryOne("SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR GEN_PERSON FROM
RDB$DATABASE")

Is there some other (more Pythonic) way how to get generator value?

Thanks for your reply
